race. >> he says it won't stop him from going to the daytona 500 tomorrow. >> if you go to a hockey game, hockey pucks fly up there. if you go to a baseball game, that's even more dangerous. the baseball can come right over the dugout and there's nothing to protect you there. >> nascar officials plan to make repai repa repairs to the fence. he says he's not worried about going to the race. he'll sit up higher in the stands and did manage to grab a piece of fiberglass and he's keeping that. >> wild day. darcy, thank you. a young girl injured in a fire that killed her father and two sisters has now died from her injury. 11-year-old daijah price had been in critical condition since flames ripped through her home thursday morning. her mother and one of her sisters escaped serious injury.
